So I have been on WL for a while... no call today so I assume its still WL for me. Anyone know what the odds of being on WL and getting in is or if you apply next year does having been on the WL help?

The adcomm who called me this morning mentioned that there will be a second page on your acceptance letter if you get scholarship.

Hey dmang,

Did you also receive the email saying View your decision? I'm not sure how am I supposed to react.. I'm definitely happy that I'm not denied admission but I cannot be sure now, can I? This is hard... :?

Thanks!


I received the email about 30 minutes after seeing "Decision Not Ready." The email told me that the decision was now ready to view on SISS. When I logged in, the "Decision Not Ready" had been replaced with the waitlist offer, which I had the option to accept or decline.

Happy to have an admit w/ a small award. Does Duke also offer need-based fin aid, or is what you see in the letter the only opportunity you have to receive money?

Thanks dmang for the clarification! It's been more than an hr and a half since I received the email, and I'm still seeing the same Decision Not ready.. I'll wait till EoD today, and then email the Adcom asking for clarification.. Hoping it's not a ding..

Thanks again!

Hmmmm, I've also been wait listed. I was expecting a simple yes or no answer.

I really like Fuqua, but I certainly don't want to wait until this summer for a business school decision.

Now what? :?

Has anyone been able to open the actual decisions or anything through the FUQUA we portal? In every single browser, I cannot open my decision. I know for a fact I was not accepted because I was not given an interview - which I also could not open when they released that decision either. I don't care about not being admitted I just want to figure out how to open the damned stuff they send :lol:


Do you have a popup blocker turned on? The decision opens in a new window. Also, how in the world did you not get an in? 760 and 3.92 is damn impressive if you ask me.

Got on the Wait List. Silly Silly.

I've already started my Update Package and will be asking for a promotion tomorrow! My scientists bosses have no idea how the business world works. They think 2 promotions in 10 years is proper, nonsense.

You're choosing Duke over CBS?

I have no idea. didn't even get an interview at Duke or Booth and not in at Ross with an interview. it's insane. My essays are fantastic , clear,concise. It must be a ding with my recs. Yeah I disabled my popup blocker and still nothing

I just got it working and in the process, figured out my potential ding for Duke. While submitting late at night I missed "preferred first name" and inadvertently put my last name. Their consolation letter started Dear Mr. (my last name) (my last name). Where the hell is a facepalm smiley when you need one. Biggest waste of $250 I've ever made.

Congratulations! to those admitted and Don't lose hope to those Waitlisted.

If any of the admits are in San Francisco, some of us in the Class of 2016 plus current students are meeting up for Happy Hour tonight at 6:30pm. Please join the FB group of Class of 2016 or PM me for the location.

Did Fuqua lowball everyone with scholarships? I'm seeing very few people get them, and for only a little bit of money. I thought Duke was generous with financial aid...wonder if they gave most of it out EA/R1?


Agreed. Its possible that they focused on EA/R1. Hard to imagine turning down a much more generous package to get loaded up in debt again.
